Another dodgy minor on fleabay....

Advert claims it's 1959
DVLA have it as 1958
Photos of rear lights, elephant trunk and keyed starter make me think it's at least 1964... possibly a Ringer on doggy plates??

Rotten as a pear too, I love the interesting angle the front end sits at.................

1970 Triumph Herald 1200: "Hetty" -- Driven back from Llangollen in Wales (twice.....)

Mine has a slight lean to the right as well. More down to poorly adjusted torsion bars than rot though. I should have called her 'Eileen'

Re: Another dodgy minor on fleabay....
All of which begs the question of where the ID came from and is this the result of a series of ID swaps, whose trail might lead back to a stolen car (or cars), if it could be followed...…..
I see another Moggy, a series 2 split screen, was stolen not so long ago.

10V engine 4/69 onwards if original to the car.
Walsall seems to be a hub of dodgy vans, so beware.
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Re: Another dodgy minor on fleabay....
Seller might be legit; they have added to the listing:
Seems some people in the know have looked at it and possibly felt it was iffy.....On 04-Oct-19 at 12:07:12 BST, seller added the following information:
Please note this vehicle is being sold for spares only as it has been pointed out by two viewers of the item ( thanks guys ] that this is around a 1964 model.

Re: Another dodgy minor on fleabay....
A whole rash of hooky ads for Minors on Fleabay today. The scammer took a break for a while, my guess 3 months in the big house. Exactly the same cars and MO as before. I've been reporting them but ebay should do more to stop these idiots.
